The Trump Tax Scam is yet another GOP blow against women: it will affect them disproportionately. If passed, the Tax Scam will:• Eliminate the ACA’s individual mandate, resulting in loss of coverage for millions of women; threats to coverage for contraception, maternity/post-natal care, and cancer screenings; and insurance companies charging higher premiums to women than men.• Increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion, triggering the PayGo Statute, which will cut $25 billion from Medicare -- disproportionately affecting women, who make up 55% of those insured under Medicare• Undermine a woman’s right to choose by referring to fetuses as “persons”• Eliminate the deduction for interest on student loans, two-thirds of which are owed by women• End the deduction that teachers (77% of whom are women) can take for purchasing school supplies

Women need to stand up now to protect themselves from this unfair, targeted assault on their well-being. Men need to help. Trump Tax Scam = Anti-Women. Urge Senators Wyden and Merkley to do everything they can to derail it!
